A top Iranian naval commander
threatened to destroy U.S. warships and kill American soldiers just a
day after Iranian vessels approached U.S. waters for the first time in
history.

“The Americans can sense by all means how their warships will be sunk
with 5,000 crews and forces in combat against Iran and how they should
find its hulk in the depths of the sea,” Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, the
commander of the elite Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, was
quoted as saying Sunday in the regional press.

Fadavi issued these threats just a day after Iranian war vessels were reported to have approached U.S. maritime borders.

“Iran’s military fleet is approaching the United States’ maritime
borders, and this move has a message,” Iranian Admiral Afshin Rezayee
Haddad was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars News Agency.

Iran dispatched the war fleet in “response to Washington’s beefed up
naval presence in the Persian Gulf,” where American ships are stationed
to help keep international shipping lanes safe, according to the report.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei also took aim at the United States
on Sunday when he urged Air Force commanders to “know the enemy well.”

“The Iranian nation should pay attention to the recent [nuclear]
negotiations and the rude remarks of the Americans so that everyone gets
to know the enemy well,” Khamenei was quoted as saying in the state-run press.
